Milltek OR Mufflerectomy?

[RossIBIZATDI]

I wanted the Milltek for the sound. If a mufflerectomy sounds the same I might try and find somewhere that will do it. Just seems a bit of a faf getting a garage to do it.

Its not a long job and ive heard people get quotes starting at £50 for the work, fitted and with tip!? How can spending £500 on something be worth it when you can get it for sooo much less!

 

[RossIBIZATDI]

I definitely agree! I will ring around a load of garages until I get someone who can do it for pretty cheap. I take it well known garages don't do this I.e Kwikfit etc..

It's just the back box that gets chopped right?

 

[Mr_Dave]

No point in a Milltek - its the same diameter as the OE one isn't it!?

Nope...

This is mine with a mufflerectomy ^^

 

[danmay]

is a mufflerectomy MOT passable?

 

[EdButler]

Nope...

Care to be a little more insightful than not at all...?

the Milltek i had fitted on my PD Ibiza Cupra and my Audi was only about 1mm max extra internal diameter

My car went straight through its 2nd MOT no problems with mufflerectomy.

I spoke with Awesome today and they recommended the Milltek so I might just get that as then I can always put the standard one back on if selling.

Also, when people refer to the "full" milltek system what do they mean? I've heard one on youtube and it sounds mint!

Awesome arent going to recommend anything else, as they wont make any money? They are a business there to make money.

You can get a custom one made, again for alot less and always put the standard one back on when/if selling.

Ok think I will sit on the exhaust now lol. Instead I'll get a lowering kit. Perhaps the Weitec kit as recommended by Sarah @ awesome as can only really go to £300 (gf is buying). Sorry to go off topic but is a 30mm drop enough?

I personally would say if your wanting to go for looks 30mm wont cut it. I whent for around 40-50mm on the front, and around 70-80mm rear and its JUST about right

Not sure how much extra is, but it looks a decent amount more - Had an adaptor with it to change the bore size.. Just not a clue what size it is.. Lowering is probably the better, but the idea of a full exhaust system is much more appealing than a mufflerectomy to me! .. Lowering first though, definately!

Mufflerectomy for the win!!

 

[RossIBIZATDI]

Lol there's so much stuff to choose from. Wish it wasn't my birthday next month! Keep getting different ideas on what to get for the car. Are there kits that lower that much? Or would I need coilovers?

Honestly mate, if you only have aroun £300 why not get a custom exhaust for that

It's annoying isn't it!

When people refer to the manifold is that the downpipe?

Also is our cat in the downpipe aswell?

Edit: got a link to the £300 suspension

 

[Ultra_Joel88]

£300 will get you a custom exhaust with a decat pipe

stuff milltek
